Snuggling with my new papa.
Well, I am beginning to understand just what sort of place I have landed in and who these anthros are. I overheard papa telling mama he wanted to give her a snappy bathing suit he had seen. He’s like that, he’s always wanting to give mama things and I’m just hoping he passes a kibble store soon!
But mama, touched as she was, said, “Oh, you are the sweetest man, but I’m not going to ANY beach this summer! Do you remember the camel with the wrinkled knees? Well, we’re related, that’s for sure!”
(Don’t take this too seriously. Mama does NOT look like a camel but she exaggerates all the time, being a Texan.)
And I thought to myself, these lady anthros, they need to think outside their bodies and pay more attention to what’s INSIDE. Meaning that if you have a good heart and keep positive in your spirit and are sweet to kitties and make a nice spaghetti alle vongole (leaving a clam or two for ME), then why waste time thinking about looks? I think a lot of lady anthros are way too concerned with their bodies and paws and pelts and way too self-critical when they are in fact perfectly normal-looking, kind-hearted anthros who are experts in the snuggle area, hug their little anthros a lot, and have really nothing to complain about! Kvetch, kvetch, kvetch, mama is just like Sally Fields in Norma Rae, whatever that is.
LADY ANTHROS, GET A GRIP! BE LIKE KITTIES. Summer is coming and this kitty, for one, is NOT staying out of her sun puddles for all the chai in Tina. Mama, try on that suit and get on with life, for heaven’s sake!
What other anthros think of you is none of your business, to quote a 97-year-old wise nonna.
Er…what’s a camel anyway?
Papa says it’s a horse designed by a committee. Hmm…but what’s a committee? I think I’m in overload.
Loulou, my momma doesn’t like wearing a bathing suit either. She says it’s cause she has pasty white skin and chicken legs. The Oregon beach gets cold, so if she were to want to swim in the water she says she’d need a wet suit, whatever that is, to stay warm.
I agree, Loulou. Us ladies are way too hard on ourselves. Your mama should just wear that bikini.
YOU have given her hope. Plus it’s one-piece, sort of like mine, haha. So a big better. Her paws can stick out but not the middle. But I have to say, mama is really little is a dumb woman to worry about this. So thanks for your encouragement. She’s actually perfectly happy with her bod. Just kvetches sometimes.
You are such a smart kitty, Loulou.
Oh, it’s so good to have fooled at least ONE anthro.
Oh my, mummy, oops, mama, related to this one! We got back home yesterday and I jumped right into the toy bin – and you know which one I pulled out first? DINO!! The green squeaky gift from YOU! Even after the wonderful sights, sounds and tastes, we have to agree – NO place like home!!! Especially when there’s no car or boat involved!!!
And I LOVE my nip-stuffed, refillable mouse!!! Yes, no place like home. But we have two sort of…
Lou Lou, you are a wise girl. XO
Sometimes…
The world is full of these strange creatures!
Boy, is it ever.
LouLou, our huMom is older than your Mama and she has given up all pretense of caring.
Right now we are watching a TV show about restorations in King Tut’s tomb. If you (or more likely Mama) have ever seen a mummy, you will understand one of our huMom’s favorite quotes : “If this is preservation, may I never see decay.” (Richard Peck)
Well we would love to be watching that show too except afterwards do you think we would be calling humom and mama “mummy”?
